LUCENT
AI-assisted counter-concealment research focused on the environmental inconsistencies left behind by Null Coat rather than on a single “see-through” sensor.
Concealment across two markets.
Null Coat has spread in two distinct forms: a vehicle paint/coating formulation used to frustrate machine vision and automated tracking, and personal-applied formulations sold as skin creams, hair gels and related products.
No single sensing modality provides a reliable answer across both. LUCENT is Argent's effort to combine multiple weak clues into one stronger confidence assessment.

Detect the hole in everything else.
LUCENT does not assume Null Coat can be “seen through.” It looks for mismatches among optical response, polarization, heat exchange, depth, motion, RF behavior, atmospheric disturbance and environmental reflections.
In effect, the system asks whether every sensor agrees that the world should look the way the concealed object is making it look.
Expanded public-safety pilot.
The current pilot includes controlled vehicle-coating tests as well as non-contact testing against personal-applied formulations supplied through participating law-enforcement laboratories.
